In this gripping tale, Mother Elizabeth Sawyer stands as a symbol of societal injustice—a poor, lonely old woman shunned by her community. Frank, a struggling farmer, is torn between his love for the pregnant Winnifred and the pressures of marrying Susan, the wealthy daughter of a yeoman. Young Cuddy Banks, a hapless clown, yearns for a love that remains unreturned. When Mother Sawyer is wrongfully accused of witchcraft, she turns to dark magic, summoning a talking devil-dog named Tom, her only ally in a world that has forsaken her. As she seeks revenge, she discovers that many around her are all too eager to barter their souls for power. Inspired by the true story of Elizabeth Sawyer, executed for witchcraft in 1621, this play intricately weaves her narrative with themes of societal failings and the darker sides of humanity, challenging the notion of good and evil. - Summary by Mary KayCopyright Short Stories 世界 戯曲・演劇
